White Man's Burden

Typically, I don't have much sympathy for white men. I mean, you're white and you're a male... work it out. However, this goes out to the black men that are dating white girls simply on the strength that they are "easy to deal with."

Dude was half asleep when I sat next to him. A few minutes into the ride, his phone goes off. Though he's speaking within reasonable levels, the volume on the phone is quite loud, so I hear the young lady on the other end. Basically, America, they went out the night before, and she wanted to go out with him again last night. The story essentially unfolds as follows:

I don't know Becky [I can't remember the real name, but we'll use Becky for the purposes of the tale], we stayed out late last night, I had a long day today, let me go home, grab something to eat, get some rest, and I'll see how I feel then and we can make plans from there.

Well, I'm in the mood to make my plans now, so I need an answer NOW.

I'd rather not make a commitment now, because even though I don't feel good now, I may feel a little better later and want to go out.

I just think you're being nasty about the whole thing. If you don't want to see me, just say that. I could make other plans you know!

I mean, if you have other plans, I don't want to hold you up. I can call you later, after you get out of your yoga class? Though I may not want to go out again tonight, if you want to hang out, you're welcome to come over.

No! NO! If you don't want to be with me, just SAY that! Just have the balls to tell me! You don't have to be nasty about it. God! I just don't see why YOU'RE turning this into such a big deal!!!

This went on for about 15 minutes. Needless to say I was ready to slap him, take his phone, and tell her to shut the fuck up. How did dude's, "I need some rest," translate, "I don't want to be with your bitch ass"? I mean, I don't know the whole story, and maybe dude is running hoes and whatnot. But, SHIT! She got in dude's issue almost from the jump.

It looks like the new crop of white girls got something else to accompany the ass...

For Your Perusal
